Problems are to be expected. Probably why the rollout is going so sloooooooow.

Smart people buy when solid stocks are low instead of panicking. I'm just worried about the antenna issues on Viasat 2, but Veteran brings up a good point. Viasat has the big contacts, so the money is there to be made.

Good or bad you would expect more chatter about it. I mean if their are implementation problems I understand. I just don't think it is rolling out as smooth as it was expected.

At least for now, my old Surfbeam 2 modem with Exede 25 Classic was a much better & reliable option. For those of you chomping at the bit, I'd say hold on to your existing plans until they work the ViaSat 2 kinks out... At least for now, ViaSat 2 Unlimited is definitely not worth $200.00+/month for what I'm getting in speed & reliability.

Only the Surfbeam 2 requires using a router if you want wireless access, the other two include a built-in wireless router and of those bottom two, supposedly only the WiFi Gateway (bottom) can be used with the new satellite (Viasat-2). Just curious, because something isn't adding up on your post, unless you're saying they were unable to get the wireless functionality on either of the bottom two to work in your environment in which case they should have simply replaced the modem/router with one that works - regardless many here might suggest you'll do better with your own router - you'll see ;)

Of course, what I saw might all be out the window now with the antenna deployment issues.

This tells me that they aren't rolling this out wide yet or people aren't picking up the plans because they are expensive/underwhelming compared to previous plans. Maybe a combination of both!

I was offered a $45.00 credit though...
Oh crap! I'm back up! 85 Mbps down & 5 Mbps up.. past experience keeps me "scheptable" so I'll just wait & see.
Thank you all for your input.

Something definitely off with the upload stream. That issue could be anywhere. As long as it isn't a problem physically with the satellite, should be able to be fixed.

Curious. With that low of upload speed have you tried VOIP or a video conference? Wonder if that even works?
